(con. from Sparks shop)
(time.....erm....I'm guessing late afternoon, evening?)
Rose exhaled a puff of air, visible in the cold. They were almost there. Her forelegs continuously rocked, trying to build up that heat to keep Tsuwari as warm as possible.
It wasn't long before the actually made it to the river. Briefly Rose could remember as clear as day the time Glayse played his smooth charm on her by that river. She openly sighed before continueing forword.

Willow stopped just by her side. Rose didnt look too joyfull, but who would, after giving birth to a demon child? Willow gave rose a friendly pat on the back and nuzzled her motherly.

Rose looked back at Willow and smiled with gratitude. It was a small token of comfort, but Rose appreciated it greatly. She knew she had to try and raise Tsuwari in the right path, but she knew she would need every bit of support given to her.
She turned her head back in the direction of home. Small whisps of chimney smoke trailed across the all ready over cast sky...That... It's coming from my house!
"Willow, someone's in my house, I didn't turn the fireplace on today!," she hissed to her.

Willow looked at rose wide eyed.. "Who would be at your home?!? Burglar?!?" Willow took a defensive stance like she was ready to kick ass.

"I wouldn't have anything worth robbing besides the tv and computer," she said," And neither of them are worth stealing."
Rose continued to approach her home behind Willow, clutching Tsuwari tightly. If push came to shove, and she hoped it wouldn't, Rose could defend both herself and Tsuwari with her magic. She knew Willow was pretty wicked in battle too, and could handle herself if needed.
After making it towards the door, she tested the knob. It was unlocked. But before she could open it on her own, the door swung wide open. Rose jumped back and let out a yelp at the sudden motion. Now standing in the open doorway was an older mare, could almost be considered identical to Rose, if it wasn't for her body being white and her hair being red instead.
"Rebel! What. Is. That?!"
Rose panicked. In a slew of a frazzled thinking mode, she did the first thing that sprouted to her mind.
"It's hers!," she pointed to Willow.

Willow stood wide eyed a second before realising roses intention. She quickly took Tsuwari in her arms and smiled. "Yeah..." ^^() "Eheh... We were just out on a stroll.. I needed some freash air and I er.. got tired so.. Rose was oh so generous to hold him for me untill we got to her house for tea. Ehehe..."

(erm......how to do this without getting characters confused?)
Rose gapped back up to the mare, hoping her face looked convincing of the lie she just told. Rose was looking at her mother, Roses-Are-Red.
Rose Sr. looked back at her daughter a moment, before smiling. Her forelegs flew wide, "Come on, give your mother a hug!"
Rose numbly stood a moment. It seemed surreal that her mother, the last person she'd ever want to see after she'd given birth, was standing in her home. How could she be here?! Now?!
Rose stiffly embraced her mother. "So mom, when did you get here?," she asked just out of her own curiousity, really trying to poke at what was she doing her.
"Oh not too long ago! Your father and I thought it would be a nice surprise to come out for the holidays, see how you've settled in!," she replied pulling back and looking at her daughter. "And you gave us that spare key the last time you visited us, so we just made ourselves at home!"
I am an idiot. "It certainly was a surprise.," she replied, trying to sound as little weary as possible. When given a chance, she glanced at Willow with an almost tragicly doomed look.
The older mare looked back to Willow. "Oh my, what am I thinking? Both of you get in here, that baby must be freezing!"

Willow nodded politely. "Thanks ma'am." She smiled and entered the house. She glanced at rose awkwardly and gave her a half reassuring smile.

Rose Sr. led them back into the house, taking them to the kitchen. Rose closed the door as they were all in and continued to follow.
Sitting at the table was a blue stallion, much older than Rose Sr., but still not so bad looking for his age. His face was deep in a newspaper, a cup of coffee in his left hoof.
"Violet, dear, Rebel's here!"
Violets-Are-Blue looked up from the paper at both Rose and Willow. He smilled warm heartly before rattling the newspaper closed. Rose didn't hesitate at knowing what he wanted, and moved towards him for a hug. "Oh it's a good thing we brought our own coffee, you don't have any here.," he said with a squeeze.
Rose rolled her eyes, momentarily forgetting her situation. "I don't like coffee, dad." The two parted, and he looked down at his girl. "You look like a wreck, Rebel. How many hours are they making you work?"
Erm...hardly any since I've been pregnant. "Oh not much, but you know how I am. Taking up extra hours while I can.," she said with a nervous laugh.
Violet then turned to Willow. He approached her with a hoof out for a handshake. "Hi, I'm Rose Rebellion's father. It's good to meet a friend of Rebel's," he said... then lowering his hoof as he realized her own hooves were full. "How old is the rascle?"

Tsuwari had begun to wriggle as soon as he had been laid in Willow's arms. The day had been hectic enough without such an abrupt change of scenery. The little colt had been alive in this new world for a little while now, and the pains of hunger were pinching his tiny stomach. With a grumble and a twist of his little features, Tsuwari let out a cry.

Willow smiled momentarily, feeling proud, almost like it was her own child. Then Tsuwari opened his little mouth. "Shh. shh.... its ok! " Willow rocked the wriggling bundle and motioned (very carefully behind the parents back) to rose trying to get across the point that rose was needed in the milk department.. NOW..... "Shoot. I knew he would get cranky!" willow said aloud rocking the baby back and forth.. "And I left all my bottles at home!" Willow sighed deeply.. If only rose was prepared for the baby, she might of had a nookie or a bottle around..

Having not been pacified by now, Tsuwari's little cries turned into ear-piercing little shrieks. He was hungry! Not that he knew how to tell his mother that. Mother.. where was she?!

This just gets worse and worse!
Violet laughed," He certainly has a strong voice in him! Almost brings me back to Rebel being a foal!"
Rose stood, her mind blank at what to do. It wasn't until her mother said to Willow," Well, dear, you better start feeding him, I see that he's hungry." before she actually did something about it.
She moved to Willow with a forleg around her front one and began pulling her towards her bedroom. "You can do this in my room.," she said, but really meaning 'We'll close the door so I can feed him!'
And sure enough once she was in the room, she closed the door and locked it. With out another moment, she gently took Tsuwari back and began to feed him.

Willow stood gaurding the door as she slid down the door landing with a flop on the floor. "Whew." Willow wiped sweat from her brow.. She fell into a pile of pony on the floor before the door. " If I'm this tired just from delivery I cant even IMAGINE how tired you must be!" She whispered listening for hoofsteps.

"Dead tired.," Rose muttered out rubbing her temples," And I can barely think straight. I can't believe of all days they had to visit me." The red mare began to wonder how long she could keep up the charade from her parents.
